My wife is Hungarian, and I am thus very sensitized to the importance of the question, how to do the accents required for writing Hungarian properly. Hello Theodore, I am also using a US keyboard and I have no problem with accents and utf-8. You must define the character encoding to 'UTF-8' and the font codeset to 'Lat2' (central Europe). The locale must be set to 'en_US.UTF-8'. Eventually, you may use the compose mechanism setting the compose character to a specific key. In Debian, this in done at installation time, but it may be changed by dpkg-reconfigure or by hand. The character encoding and the font codeset are in the file /etc/default/console-setup. The locale is defined in the file /etc/default/locale. For the keyboard, in X, I set the 'compose' keyboard option to 'rwin', i.e. the right 'ms-windows' key. This is defined in the file /etc/default/keyboard or /etc/default/console-setup: XKBOPTIONS=compose:rwin To insert a composed character, press/release left-rwin, then the accent and then the character. The compose sequences may be found in the file /etc/console-setup/compose.ISO-8859-2.inc.

I had a bunch of the PixArt datasheets already, but I had missed that one.

What it does not give, very unfortunately, is any information about the command set which needs to be sent across the USB connection, which in turn actuates the circuits which in turn sends something to the sensor across one of those pins. For example, to set green gain one has to do something on connector X. But how does one send a command from the computer which does something on connector X? Some other datasheets from some other companies (Omnivision, for example) do seem occasionally to provide such information. Thus, a question for you or for anyone else who reads it: Has anyone figured out any shortcuts for matching up the missing pieces of information? Probably the answer is no but I think this is the kind of question which is worth asking again on some periodic basis. I have created some notes about my experiments, but they are only based on trial-and-error. I started to created a PixArt PAC7301/PAC7302 Wiki page this morning but the communication protocol details I could found out is not yet finished. The page can be found at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PixArt_PAC7301/PAC7302 . I hope I'll have the time to add a section about the communication protocol details I could find out from the current gspca_pac7302 driver source code and my experiments.
